Early Records of Jackson Co FL 1821-1848
What are your ideas on marriages that took place between 1821 (date Jackson
County was created) and 1848 (date the first marriages are currently
available)? Doesn't it seem odd that there are NO marriage records for that
time period? I'm certain there were marriages then. I talked to a person,
who takes care of the records in the basement of the courthouse, and he
indicated many records were thrown away by a former Judge. Hmmm...but,
thinking on this, why do the marriages that are available begin in book
"A"? Was there another book "A" that preceded this one? Could some of these
records be in territorial papers? This is just so odd to me. Were are these
early records, anyone please help???? Thanks, Cindy Sloan

Hi Betty,
Love the site and would be glad to help. I have not worked on mine in a
while due to the amount of work I am doing on my database.
Carpenter Family of Grand Ridge, Jackson Co FL
In addition I have published a 1850 and 1860 census and will be glad to do
lookups. My personal database includes many eastern county families
(Dellwood, Grand Ridge, Sneads, etc.) Families have been there since 1825.
Also I subscribe to the paper and have been creating a database of obits,
marriages, etc. for the past few papers. It is incomplete (due to time)
but will do lookups. Randall Carpenter

Subj: Auston/Austin families

From: toniab@concentric.net (James and Tonia)
I am also researching Auston's. My gggrandmother was Melinda "Dink" Auston
(b. December 12, 1856). I believe (but have no concrete proof) that were
parents were Andrew Jackson Auston (b. ~1820 VA) and Britannia Ammons?? (b.
~1827 GA) They were first found in the 1850 Henry Co., Al census and then
in the Coffee and Geneva census. I would appreciate any help in this family
and I'll be glad to share my ged.com file with you, if you'd like.
Thanks for your help! TOnia Porter

Subj: Governor Milton's Plantation "Sylvania"
Date: 97-05-19
From: JoyceDykes@aol.com
A family (Dykes) story is that the Sylvania Plantation after the Governor's
death was put up for auction. My GGGrandfather was to have bought it. That
would be my GGGrandfather James Riley Dykes. My GGrandfatherJohn Vincent
Dykes was born befor the Civil War but after the war he was raised there.
There my Grandfather was born. His birth place was Greenwood according to
his birth records.
Now to what I would like to see if you can find for me is. Was Governor
Milton's Plantation put up for auction after the Civil War. Were was
Sylvania Plantation. All you said " it was near Marianna, Fl." The town of
Greenwood is less then 10 miles to the north of Marianna. I have a county
road map of Jackson County. So if you can get me a road intercetion and
town I can locate the location on my map. Also if there was an auction,
then who bought the plantion so Ican see if it matches with my
GGrandfathers name.
Good luck, Wiley Vincent Dykes Jr.

Subj: Re: Dykes-Simmons Family of Jackson County, FL
Date: 97-05-18
From: JohnArden@aol.com

Thanks for the message. My wife was raised in Malone. We now have quite
abit of data on her ancestor, John Pinkney King who came to Jackson County
in 1825 or so from SC along with Elias Windham, who we now think was a
relative. John Pinkney King had a large plantation south of Malone, one
source places it toward Merritt's Mill Pond but I don't know. We have a
copy of his will made after he joined confederate army at age 43 and was
wounded and died at army hospital in Atlanta. His son was also a
confederate soldier and surrendered in Fla at end of war. My grandmother
was raised between Neal's Landing and Bascom. Her father, Calvin Dykes
married Laura Simmons after his family had died during war. He was in
Confed army. He was 36 or 38 and she ws 18, the dau of L.M. Simmons, Malone
Area. My great - great grandfather, James Dykes, was a Lt in Marianna
homeguard during the war.
One of the Dykes family had a plantatioin near Campbelton, later known as
Newbury Plantation. When the yankees came into Fla they burned their crops,
rather than have the yankees get them. My grandmother's cousin, a Simmons
was one of the ones involved in the murder of a man after civil war as told
in Jckson Co History by Shofner. However, he wasn't convicted but was only
found guilty of being present at the time. This was the man that the people
thought so little of that the sheriff didn't even look for him after he
came up missing. The governor sent an investigator to Jackson County to
look for him. My grandmother had told me that story earlier, and Mr John
McAnulty, now deceased, also told me the story later. My gr-Grandfather
Dykes taught school at a one room school just below Ala line above Malone.
He sold his property to a relative and moved to Alabama, between Ashford
and Cottonwood in 1896.

As to the Ferry, I don't know exactly where it was but am told that it was
down the road behind the courthouse to the river. My gr-gr grandmother,
Jane Dykes, purchased a slave to work for her at the Inn and Ferry. He was
such a good worker that she used coins from the ferry to purchase his wife.
The bag of coins was so heavy that he had to carry it on his back. That is
a story that has come down through the family over the years. One of the
family, a son of Jane and James was William , Bill, Dykes, who is said to
have had the first grist mill on Merristt's at the head of the pond. There
are quite a few Dykes kin in Jackson County today.

My wife's sister-in-law, Doris Conrad Petty, was also raised in Malone and
has done quite a bit of research in the unorganized files in courthouse
basement and has a lot of data on the area. However, she's not on line. She
has quite a bit of data on Baxter and Hatcher families of Jackson County.
We now live in Dothan. Hope some of this will be of use to you. Thanks for
your web page. One of my neighbors is Larry Register, former Mayor of
Dothan, AL, who is doing quite a bit of family research and I plan to tell
him abut your homepage. Good luck! JohnArden@aol.com

I am researching Irwin Toole, father of Calvin J. Toole.
Irwin moved to Early Co Ga in 1839, from Barnwell Co SC. He moved to
Jackson Co Fla. in Dec. of 1852. His first wife was Sarah ------? She died
and he remarried Martha Hix in Jackson Co Fla in 1855. I am also looking
for information on William Jackson McCorkle. Born 1848 in Clay Co Ga. moved
to Fla after 1870, I think it was Jackson Co but I am not positive. His
wife was Alice Grice Hepburn. She was found living in Early Co Ga in1900,
a widow. I think that William may have died in Fla. I would like to know
where he is buried and his date of death. Last, but just as important as
the rest, I am looking for info on John Jefferson Creel. Born in Fla. I

#132 is COOK, Green B. and family:

I think either Sarah and her family were visiting with dad John BASFORD on

days earlier. Or daddy John gave the names of all of his family, even if
they didn't live with him ...

Dear Betty Mae,
Thankyou so very much for finding the information on my Dickson family of
Marianna.My search for my Confederate ancestor came up positive! While
looking through 1850 Florida census records dated Nov.12th,1850 I found the
name of Nicholas M. Dickson who was my Great-grandfathers older brother.My
Gr-great-grandfather was Marmaduke A. Dickson who was 39 years of age at
the time of the 1850 census taking.
A note I made to myself a few years ago has me convinced this Nicholas M.
Dickson is the same Captain Marmaduke Nicholas Dickson who was born in
Greenwood,Fla. in 1842 and served in the 3rd Florida Regiment (Confederate
Army) in Gen. J.J. Finleys Brigade. I can only guess he swapped his middle
name around sometime before the war or maybe the census record got it down
the wrong way.

ALDAY, BARBER, BOYETT, DANLEY, GAUSE, GEORGE, KINSEY, LYNN, and ROBINSON,
from Gadsden and Jackson Co., FL and Decatur Co., GA.
Josiah Dunham Boyett was born 31 Jul 1833 in Leon Co. FL
His father was Issac Boyett, b. North Carolina C. 1795, d. 28 Feb 1857 in
Decatur Co., GA. Issac married Margaret Singletary. Their children were
George L., Sarah Ann, Joseph A., Mary B., John Henry Sr., William T., Emily
P., Josiah Dunham, Issac J., Jacob Y., and Feriba Ann. As far as I know
Josiah was the only one of their children who relocated to Jackson County.

Josiah married Missouri George. Their children were Margaret Boyett,
Missouri Boyett(married Andrew L. Park), Emily Frances Boyett(married John
E. Robinson), Mary Boyett, Sarah Ann Lanora Boyett(married William Bryant
Gause), and Robert H. Boyett(married Irene Griffin).

Sarah Ann Lanora, daughter of Josiah and Missouri, married William Bryant
Gause. They also resided in Jackson Co. Their children were Harvey Clifton
Gause(married Ida Dixie Day), Clyde Missouri Gause(married Jesse Ernest
Powell), Thomas JosiahGause(married 1st-Lona Henderson Hawkins, 2nd Bertha
Lee Kinswan), Carlie Mae Gause(married Charles Everett Day), and John
Robert Gause.

I went to the FL Archives a few weeks ago and found Josiah's Confederate
pension file. There was not much info, but it did verify that Josiah indeed
was married to Missouri George, as she also applied for and received a
widows' pension after his death in 1910. I have also had Vital Records here
in Jacksonville look for a death certificate for him, but have had no luck
there.
Thanks again for your help. If you need any info from Jacksonville area,

I found it extremely coincidental that you emailed me. Both my mother and
aunt were born in Marianna. My mother 3/1945 and my aunt 1/1949. There
names were Luana and Andrea Granger (respectively). Their parents were John
A. and Louise MacKinnon Granger. Their former house was/is located across
from Wendy's Hamburger's and directly next to the Captain D's seafood
restaurant in Marianna. My grandfather (John Granger) was born in
Monticello, FL, but I'm not exactly sure where my grandmother was born. My
grandfather, deceased in 1985, has a surviving sister residing in
Tallahassee. She keeps up with most all of the family history. I can try to
help - I am familiar with some Daffin's & MacKinnon's which some are still
living in Marianna. Myself, I was raised in Dothan, AL - just 40 minutes

Hi Betty last time I checked Florida's web page no one had adopted Jackson
county I got goose bumps when I saw you had taken it & they doubled in
size.
When I saw the list of ref. material and names of old news papers my
ancestors are from Jackson, Calhoun & Walton counties so you see why I was
so happy. Researching: Richards, Hogg, Nelson, Cooper, Poster, Wells, Gable

I'll be attending our annual family reunion on Sunday, May 4, at Collins

I'm interested in any information involving Pelhams and associated

Sneed. Located on Dykes
Cemetery Rd. The other is just on the outskirts of Marianna. I have not
been to this one . I now have directions to it. Next time I will go there.
I live in Orlando so I do not know when next time is. I would like you to

Fifth governor, October 7, 1861, to April 1, 1865
John Milton was born near Louisville, Ga., on April 20, 1807. A descendant
of the English poet John Milton, he practiced law, first in a number of
Georgia and Alabama communities and later in New Orleans. Before coming to
Florida in 1846, Milton allegedly killed an adversary in a duel.
After entering Florida politics, Milton became a statewide force in the
Democratic party, serving as a presidential elector in 1848 and as a member
of the 1850 House of Representatives. A vigorous states-righter, Milton
encouraged the early secession of Florida from the Union.
As governor, Milton stressed FloridaÆs ability to serve as an important
source of food and salt for the Confederate war effort. On April 1, 1865,
as the southern cause was collapsing, John Milton shot himself at
"Sylvania," his home near Marianna. In his last message to the legislature,
he had said, "Death would be preferable to reunion." (BJS)

The names I'm researching in Jackson Co. are BAZZELL (BASIL), PHILLIPS,
and BROWN.

The earliest Bazzell that I know of was Isham H. Bazzell (b abt 1803 in
SC) m to Susan Trussell (b abt 1805 in GA). I am descended from their
second son James Alfred (b abt 1829 in Jackson Co.) and his wife Nancy
C. Brown (b abt 1832 in Jackson Co.). I have some information on the
Isham H. clan, mostly from Census records. James and Nancy appeared in
the 1850 and 1860 Jackson Co. Census and disappeared after that. I
found information at LDS that says Isham d 1876 and Susan in 1869. I
would like death dates for James and Nancy, and Isham's other kids if
it's easy to find. I'm not sure where they're buried. I found a
reference to Isham's youngest son, Samuel Isham, being born in Lovedale
Com., Greenwood, Jackson, FL.
The PHILLIPS are more elusive. I cannot find George W. Phillips (b
1820's? in SC)in either GA or FL Census records. He supposedly settled
near Dellwood, FL. He was married to Martha A. Lanier (b FL) and they
had a son, George W. (b 1848 or 1852 in Jackson Co.). I find George II
in the 1870 Census as an 18 yo living with William Phillips, 25 (a
brother?) and Caledonia Phillips (22) in Jackson Co. This would make me
think that George I and Martha are dead by 1870. I find George II and
his wife Laura J. Bazzell in the 1900 and 1910 Census, but not anywhere
in 1880. Information about George I is what I want most -- birth date
and place, parents and siblings. Infomation on Martha's family would be
great too. Death dates for George I and Martha would be helpful; I
don't know where they're buried. *Anything* on George I would be
helpful!

I am researching my PHILLIPS line in Jackson Co. The earliest ancestor
is a George W. Phillips. He is very elusive and I was wondering if you
may know anything that might help me track him down.

A distant relative that my uncle spoke to in Attapalgus, GA said that
George (b 1810 - 1820? in SC) and two brothers moved to Decatur Co.,
GA. The two brothers stayed in GA and settled in the Bainbridge and
Colquitt area. George settled first west of the Flint River in GA and
then moved to Jackson Co. and settled in Dellwood, near Mariana. George
m. Martha A. LANIER and they had a child, George W. Phillips b. 31 Jan
1848 or 1852 in Jackson Co. A family Bible I've never seen has him born
in 1848. Census records indicate he would have been born in 1852 and
are always consistent.

I cannot find George, SR. in Census records in GA or FL. I find George,
JR. (these are my designations so I can keep them straight) in the 1870
Census for Jackson Co. as an 18 yo. living with a William and Caledonia
Phillips, 25 & 22 yo. respectively. I don't find George, Jr. again
until 1900 enumerated with his wife Laura J. BAZZELL Phillips and
several of their children. I have lots of information on this family
and even pictures. I also found George and Laura in the 1910 Census in
Jackson Co. Both died in Attapalgus, GA, she in 1919 and he in 1924,
but I don't find him in the Decatur Co. Census for 1920. Census records
also indicate that George, Jr. was a farmer and owned land.

I am looking for information on George, Sr.'s siblings, parents, and
where in SC they were from. I'm also trying to figure out who was in
Attapalgus that George, Jr. and Laura went there in their old age.

Also, information I have on one of my BAZZELL's (b 1848) indicates that
he was born in the Lovedale Com., Greenwood, Jackson, FL. Do you know
what Lovedale Com. is? When I found the Bazzells in the 1870 Census,
they were all living near each other because they were lsited as
consecutive dwellings and families on the same page. I wonder if enough
of them stayed in the same area that they eventually became a
"community."
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Denise Ney

Hi Betty, My name is Ken Smith and I noticed that your are a Jackson Co, FL
researcher. The "BLACKSHEAR-KING Jackson County" caught my attention as I
have done some research on Horace King who was a slave owned by my
ancestor's brother, John Godwin. Horace King was a famous bridge builder in
Al and GA and was my relative's foreman until my relative died. My ancestor
was Wells Godwin, brother of John Godwin, the bridge builder. They built
the Court House in Montgomery, AL. Wells and John had a brother named
Thomas who went to Jackson County, FL in about 1833.

This is what I know about Thomas Godwin:

THE TIMES AND NEWS newspaper in Eufaula, Alabama - 1879, Tuesday, June 17,
had Capt. Thos Godwin, aged 90 years of Jackson County, Florida died
recently.

Also in same newspaper 1889: Capt. A. R. Godwin, merchant and farmer, of
Cottondale, Florida., died on Sunday last. Believe this could be Alexander
R. Godwin, who possibly was the eldest son of of Thomas. Cottondale is in
Jackson County, Florida.

the oldest. I have not been able to find him however. This is the family

there may have been an Alsobrook connection back in NC. Also, I am curious
why he was referred to as CAPT. Thomas Godwin. Thank you. Ken

Subj: Dykes history needed
Date: 97-06-28
From: JoyceDykes@aol.com
Need someone with information on the Governor John Milton Plantation
"Sylvania" near Marianna. I think it is in the town of Greenwood. I was
told that after the governor killed himself after the Civil War ended. Then
it was put up for auction. Ths is how I come in to the story. My
GGGrandfather James Riley Dykes bought the plantation. This is where my
GGrandfather John Vincent Dykes was raised. Also my Grandfather Walter
Dykes and all brothers and sisters where born and lived until it was sold.
Does any body have information on the auction and or where it is located?

Also does any body know if any of John Vincent Dykes's brothers or sisters
moved to Panama City. Do they have any decendents there today, if so who

Subj: RE:RESERVATION (Dellwood)
Date: 97-06-26
From: zion@phonl.com (Mary)
Betty, I have asked my husband if he had every heard of an Indian
Reservation in Jackson Co, FL and he said that he had never heard of one.
He was born in 1936 so he should know. I will ask around here to see if
there every was one. I also looked in the History of Jackson Co(the black
book if you have one). Page 17 and 18 says that there was an attack by the
Indians on white settlers in Jackson Co is found in Pensacola and
Tellahassee newspapers in 1842, reporting the murder of several members of
a white family at Hickory Hill. This was during the last years of the
Seminole War, but there was no evidence that these murders were connected
with the conflict.
In 1823 the Indians in Jackson Co came under the Treaty of Moultrie Creek,
signed on Sept. 18. In consideration of their friendly relations
with the government, four chiefs were allowed to remain in the county and
were awarded small reservations. Two chiefs, John Blount and Tuski Hajo,
were granted eight squae miles of territory, with a four-mile frountage on
the Apalachicola river. This tract of land was just east of present-day
Blountstown, county seat of Calhoun county. Mullato King and Emathlochee
were granted a reservation which fronted four miles on the Apalachicola
river, opposite present-day Chattahoochee. Econchatimo was given premission
to reside in a tract of land four miles square, located on the
Chattahoochee river, north of the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint
rivers. ALL these reservations were ceded BACK to the United States in 1832
and 1833.

Malvin or Melvin Wright. Annie must have d. abt 1897 because on the 1900

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am going to the Tampa Library this

He is one of that bunch that settled in GA (two of them). His son, "Phil"
Cobb grew up on their farm later to be in Houston Conty, Dothan, AL.
Aquilla Alexander "Phil" Cobb married Josephine Martin of Cottondale or
Graceville. Will you be able to find Josephine Martin's date of birth, who
her parents were and who, how many sisters and brothers she had? After
Josephine Martin died "Phil" married Genie Hudspeth--This is her married
name. What was her maiden name? He married her ???1914-1925.If you find
them on your census pages of past make me a copy--up to 1930--any histories

Date: 97-10-11
From: Keithflk@aol.com
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Joseph Allen Register's burial
place was mentioned in the WPA Vetrans Cemetary Survey for Jackson county.
This is the Crutchfield Cemetery. Maps of the cemeteries surveyed were not
available. It is not on current topographical maps, however, I did find in
on the soil conservation service Soil Survey of Jackson County. I had heard
of it, and Mr. Johns road me around and showed us where the cemetery was.
He was very nice and gave permission for the marker to be placed near the
road. The story is told that the "Crutchfield boys, destroyed the markers
in clearing the land. Daddy's cousin Letsie JACKSON Fowler remembers as a
child going with her mother Fannie Magee KEITH Jackson to clean the
cemetery. Fannie Magee KEITH was a sister to my grand father John Alton
Daniel (John D. ) KEITH and a daughter of George Washington KEITH and
Caroline REGISTER Keith. Caroline was a daughter of Joseph Allen REGISTER
and is my connection to the REGISTERs. George Washington and Caroline lost
a son, James Allen KEITH, probably as an infant, he could be buried there.
Joseph Allen's second wife Deborah is buried at the cemetery at Collins
Mill Church.

I do not know who else is there. There is a possibility that Christchaney
PHILIPS Register, d 25 April 1875, (Joseph Allen's first wife) may be
there. George Washington and Caroline lost a son, James Allen KEITH, 6
months, July 1876, he could be buried there. Joseph Allen's second wife
Deborah is buried at the cemetery at Collins Mill Church. Joseph Allen's
marker has the WRONG date on it. It should be 4 December 1885 not 1883.

I need your advice. I would like to contact any and all folks researching
the REGISTER and PHILIPS/PHILLIPS surnames in Jackson, Washington, Holmes,
Walton, Wakulla Counties in FL and Henry, Dale, Houston (now), counties in
AL, to see if we can sort out the families. This is a large project, but
one that could contribute much to North Florida Genealogy. I have made a
few finds this year that may help sort some out, but I could sure use
contacts.

The REGISTER reunion is next Saturday, October 18, at the Noma Civic
Center, Noma, FL. Bring a covered dish for lunch, Livve entertainment after
lunch. Thanks, Frances Keith
